Emporia State art faculty works on display

Anyone who has ever wondered what faculty do with their time when not in the classroom should attend the opening reception of the Passion Fruit exhibit at Emporia State’s Norman R. Eppink Art Gallery.

The Passion Fruit show, which opened Jan. 31 and runs through March 22, has a simple theme — to highlight artworks designed by faculty members in the ESU art department that were created or realized during an artist residency, fellowship, sabbatical or workshop they attended or directed.

The Eppink Gallery is located in King Hall. The opening reception will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 7, in the Bruder Theater Lobby adjacent to the gallery. At 6 p.m. that night, the exhibiting artists will participate in an informal gallery talk, sharing information about the programs that helped support the creation of their works in the exhibit

The Eppink Gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.
